Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Covered Bridges"

Here is another layout from our 2013 anniversary weekend at a log cabin in Nashville, Indiana.

These covered bridges were so beautiful covered with sparkly snow. I know we're all looking forward to warmer weather and it's just around the corner, but snow is undeniably beautiful.

 And look at the architecture inside of this bridge. I found it fascinating.

 The Coredinations cardstock was watermarked with a circular stamp using VersaMark. The deer stamp is Glitz Design "Finley" popped on a punched scallop circle and embossed, then layered on glitter paper, and silver chevron washi.

 The ball fringe adds a little bit of texture. The title is Cricut's Plantin' Schoolbook font.

Two Page Layout - Brown County Indiana

Hello friends! Today I have another layout from our 28th anniversary trip at a beautiful log cabin in Nashville, Indiana.

The shopping area in Nashville has quite a few little shops to browse through. I'm so thankful my hubby likes to shop, even more than I do. We found some great finds and a few Christmas gifts for family while we were there. The little town hums with excitement and tourists all year long, and especially at Christmas time. The snow wasn't much of a hindrance. There are tons of great places to eat with great home-cooking on the menu.

 The polka dot paper is My Minds Eye "Cest LaVie" and I used SU designer series to matt some of the pictures. No page is complete without Washi tape and a bitty banner punched from scraps of SU paper, cardstock, and a local map of the area. It's strung on scrappers twine between two SU brads.

 The Brown County Indiana die was purchased at one of the local scrapbook shops. I could have spent hours browsing through all of the goodies.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Stay tuned for two more layouts of this snowy weekend in southern Indiana.

Two Page Layout - Dogwood Point

Today, I'm sharing another layout from our snowy 28th anniversary adventure in Nashville, IN. This one shows you the beautiful little cabin and the surrounding area in daylight.

 The snowstorm the night before left 10-12" of beautiful pristine snow on the ground. My dear husband had to go out and shovel so we could get out and about. They cabin management team sent their snowplows around to all of the cabins. We were snowed in for awhile and loving it!

 We had a beautiful view of the mountains and could see nothing but trees and snow out the window.

The paper is StampinUp! designer series. The title was cut with Cricut's Lyrical Letters and the snowflakes with ArtPhilosohy. Ball fringe, scrappers twine, and a few rhinestones add just enough bling to this snowy layout. The journaling tag is from Echo Park.

If you are ever in the market for a frosty log cabin getaway, make sure you checkout Dogwood Point. Be sure to stop by my blog later this week to see the covered bridges and the cute downtown area.

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - Nashville, Indiana

This snowy, sub-zero weather makes me wish I had a fireplace. Nothing like curling up to a toasty fire, with your sweetheart. But here we sit in our cute little house with no fireplace. Thankfully, though, the furnace does a great job of keeping us warm, even though we are lacking the romantic ambiance we desire.

For our 28th anniversary, I surprised Mark and rented a log cabin in Nashville, Indiana. Our anniversary is the first week in December. When we left, they were predicting snow, but we figured we'd drive out of it since we were heading south. Little did we know how much snow we were in for.

 If you ever get a chance to rent a log cabin in the snow, go for it! We drove down this long, narrow, snowy lane with the porch light acting as our beacon. Wow! What a great adventure. It was just the two of us in the log cabin perfection!

 The paper is Creative Memories and Jen Wilson. The bold aqua, blue and red snowflakes were cut with Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. I purchased the title die at an adorable scrapbook shop in town. I backed the log cabin with brown paper to help it show up better on the snowflake paper.

The fireplace was so warm and cozy!!! The next evening, after sweeping it off, we enjoyed the hot tub out in the snow. It took some convincing to get me out there, but man oh man....it was the best.

Come back later this week for a few more layouts from our Nashville, IN winter adventure.

Two page pet layout "Winter Sprint"

I have really been enjoying the light covering of fresh snow we've received over the last few weeks. Today, it's disappearing again. I enjoy winter for the most part. Everything looks prettier when it's dusted with snow!

Our adopted greyhound loves the snow! These pictures are from a year ago. My son, Jacob, was home for the weekend from BSU. He and my hubby took Riley to the dog park and had a blast. I printed some in black and white for a change. It gave me a fun opportunity to embellish with colorful snowflakes. =)

Left: My favorite picture of them running off into the distance. A great shot!! It looks like Jacob had a head start.

Right:  Riley's tongue tells the story of all the sprinting he did that day. He ran so fast, his coat was literally flapping in the beeze behind him.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! Are you doing any fun crafting this weekend? I am still hoping to get in a few Valentines cards. I have some ideas floating around in my head. As always, it's more a matter of getting all of my stuff out and just getting started. I can do this!!! =)

Double layout - Snow Fun

Thanks so much to somebody on the Google forum who answered my question on my issues with uploading pictures. Turns out it is a known issue that they are fixing...Until then, there is a work around!! YAY! What a huge help! Thank you Google person!!

Yes, my Christmas decorations are still up. Anybody else??? Maybe I'm the last one in all the land? I hope not. We do love Christmas at our house, we get busy, and well it just takes us awhile. Since the snow all melted away, the reality of all the decorations hanging around is starting to get to me. Maybe this weekend....but no guarantees.

In honor of our melted snow, I'm posting a snowy layout from last winter with our dog, Riley. He is such a good boy. We think he's very handsome too. =) That was his first winter. He's from a dog racing track in Alabama, but he obviously adores the snow!!

I had "snow" much fun with this layout. First of all the paper is a from the We R Memory Keepers, Teen Angst collection. I can't get enough of the grungy, inked- up look. I added nothing to the paper. The snowflakes are texture embossed with a snowflake folder, and swiss dots. I love the texture it added. The centers of the snowflakes are popped with foam adhesive squares.

 

I used two different strips of paper under the picture grid. The top one is red paper strip punched with a scalloped border punch. I wadded it all up in my hand, and then flattened it out and used it for my journalling. The bottom strip was fringed with my Martha Stewart scissors. I cut the long strip into small 2" pieces and then placed them at random so they look uneven at the bottom. I'm not sure what possessed me to do this, but I like the way it came out. I like it with the slightly misaligned picture grid.

Have a great week, everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
